- Remember back when you and your significant other got together. What was the main driving force for wanting to be in a relationship with each other? How did you feel when you got together and what were you looking forward to accomplishing together?
- Has your view of relationships changed since you've been together? Why do you want to stay together? Is it the same reason you wanted to get together? With all things that have happened or changed in your lives together, has any of this affected your view of your relationship or relationships in general?
Think about the things that are the most important to you as a couple to do or accomplish in life. You may want to refine your mission statement a few times, and then possibly post a nice copy of it in your home. Review it often and make necessary changes so that it always reflects the goals and values of your relationship and your family.

Relationship BootcampDaring to love is one of the most crucial elements of a long-term, committed relationship. Whether new or old, perfect or falling apart, a relationship can only get better. I do not claim to be an expert by any means. In some ways, I could use more work in some aspects than most. However, I have realized how important my relationship is to me, and I am committed to making it better from here on out. In light of this, I have done a lot of soul-searching, a lot of praying, and a lot of homework. Compiling it here, maybe it won't help just me. Bettering a relationship is not something that is ever considered by most. Most just believe things are the way they are, and he/she will never change. However, it is selfish to put blame on another and not look at yourself first. The first step is to take a look at yourself, and then build a path to nurturing your relationship. Choosing to lead your heart and choosing to love will, in the end, change you, your partner, and potentially change your life. Archives
